Listening Post: Batch 539

Black And White

Bitter Man

Into the Blue

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

Emily Mercer is a Manchester based indie artist with some serious range. From piano-driven self-realisation ballads to tender folk songs, her genre-bending music reveals a naturally questioning nature. Mercer's songs have a flair for the dramatic and an ongoing theme of truth: millennial angst, self sabotage, confronting personal agendas -  each song acts as a call for an end to the BS - including her own. Though a warm and textured blend of Jazz, Folk and Pop, she rips apart the darker parts of the self and exposes them to the light.
